Merseyway brought ‘Stockport Together’ with this year’s summer festival. Merseyway Shopping Centre, one of Greater Manchester’s most popular shopping centres, was thrilled to see Stockport come together for the fantastic 4 days of family fun during the summer festival that took place this weekend.
With so much on offer the annual Merseyway Summer Festival featured a whole host of fun filled events and activities. Visitors were able to enjoy fairground rides and street entertainment, grab a bite to eat or drink at the specialist food and drink stalls and browse the eclectic collections of the Teenage and Vintage market stalls. The glitz and glamour of the popular Merseyway fashion show brought in the crowds, along with the various beauty, fashion and fitness demonstrations conducted by local tenants.
There was live entertainment and music from some special guests in the form of The Mend, ReConnected and BeMinor who thrilled the crowds with their brilliant vocals supported by other acts which included Blank Cheque, Vicky Nolan, Debut Dancers and Henry Gallagher.
Brendan Webb, centre manager said,
“It was fantastic to see such variety and diversity around Merseyway that brought in so many people both old and young as the summer festival proved to be more popular than ever. The excitement doesn’t stop here as we are already putting plans together for our next big event as we look forward to our Christmas light switch on.”
